That's awesome!.

Them blue crosses was placed at the old Bryce cemetery in tuscaloosa.i help build them and put them there. They was put there because we did some research and found out that the patients was buried with no name on it only a number and I've heard that there are more than 1 to a grave and some are still under river rd we found a pill of markers in the woods

Digging this one up, but I work in a residential facility - it kinda freaks me out that 30 years later, kids still sound the same. This could have been written by one of my kids yesterday.

Anyone see the "person" between the nearest and second window, standing by the wall??!!

I started working at Bryce in 1983 as a 19yo LPN. It was quite the place to gain experience, both good and bad. Sad to say, that the place is barely what it used to be, only a couple of buildings remain, as the University of Alabama has overtaken it's grounds.

WOW 30 years! I can only imagine the stories you can tell. Personally, I would love to hear them -

That Karla Bonoff album was her first release from 1977. It's simply called Karla Bonoff. It's a yacht rock album with pretty good songs on it. I have that record.

Hi; while I'd like to think my photography work consists more of pandering (that's up to you), I fail to see how posting a photograph of found Polaroids violates the ADA or Alabama law. I think that if anything, Bryce Hospital has violated HIPPA law by leaving identifiable photographs of patients laying around after vacating the building, no?

I blur out faces, names, social security numbers, and all kinds of personal information left behind in these places, and I think it's important to show people the reality of what gets left behind in disused buildings despite the laws that have been put in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

One more comment, your posting of these types of pictures is nothing more that pandering to the worst side of peoples curosity. However, your posting of the poloroids, etc, that included pictures of patients, is a direct violation of the ADA (federal American Disabilities Act ), and Alabama Law. Take them down!

I worked there for 30 years. Your pictures only show the trash it became after being abandoned by the courts and politics. It wasn't a pleasent place, but a great deal of compassion was shown by the people who worked there with the patients. More than shown by the probate courts that committed the people to get them out of the way.

I must decline your request; this person's name doesn't really have context here, and your reasoning is a bit insensitive.

Please unblur the name off this photo. These records are now considered old and invalid, and nobody would care.

One thing I have noticed. There is none of that annoying graffiti anywhere and the place has not been destroyed by immature kids. Okay I guess that would be too things. Still really interesting photos.

Beautiful shot, Motts! Probably my favorite out of this album. Thanks for posting!

I'm amazed at how clean it actually looks. Almost like it was just put there...almost.
